Create your own Build-a-bear experience

Build-a-Bear is a world-renowned chain where you can make your own teddy bear. Visiting one of their shops is a total experience. From start to finish, you are taken into a magical world where you bring your new best friend to life. But what if you don’t live near a Build-a-Bear shop? Luckily, you can now have that same magical experience at home with maakeenbear!

Step 1: Choose your stuffed animal

Just like in a Build-a-Bear shop, the experience starts with choosing your stuffed animal. You might choose your favourite animal, or the stuffed animal you like best. If you want to give the soft toy as a gift, you can choose an animal that the recipient likes, or a soft toy that symbolizes your relationship. For example, think of an elephant for someone who is strong and reliable.

A teddy bear for the future

At maakeenbeer, we think sustainability is important. Therefore, in addition to our standard cuddly toys, we also offer an ecological line. These cuddly toys are made of recycled materials, which is good for the environment. This way, you help reduce waste and save energy, something that is not unimportant in times of climate change.
